Bolt Charge nerf idea
Okay, so I feel that a nerf to bolt charge is pretty much on the way at this point. I'd like to throw my idea your way if I can get your ear. [u]My suggestion is that you add a 10-second timer to the stack counter so that you can't just hold on to the stacks infinitely[/u] and because it also counts as a buff (every other elemental buff has a timer, except cure but that's an exception). [u]I also think that there should be an 8-10 second cooldown after activating the lightning strike before you can start building more stacks of bolt charge[/u] so that you can't spam the lightning strike with storm's keep. I think the cooldown would bring it back down to the same level as ignitions.

They're already nerfing it in frontiers. Once the artifact is gone here's what it'll lose: it'll lose the almost 3x increase in damage, it'll lose jolt, it'll lose 80 hp heal on activation, it'll lose the permanent 2x stack gain. Damage tests have been done and while strong it ain't game changing without the artifact mostly being there for ad clearing or a small bit of extra damage (Being about 1.4 special sidearms worth of damage every 5 seconds though this does change depending on the weapons being used)
